Root Tip Recovery via Root Canal Instrumentation.

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Endodontics
• Surgical Procedures

Background:

• Root tip fragments can remain in the jawbone after endodontic treatment.
• Effective removal of root tips is crucial for successful treatment outcomes and preventing complications.

Observation:

• Two clinical cases involving root tip recovery using specialized root canal instrumentation were analyzed.
• The instrumentation techniques were applied to root tips lodged within both mandibular and maxillary alveolar bone.

Findings:

• Root canal instrumentation proved effective for retrieving root tip fragments in the presented cases.
• The study highlights the successful application of instrumentation for root tip recovery in different jaw locations.

Implications:

• The findings suggest that root canal instrumentation is a viable method for root tip retrieval.
• Recommendations are provided for clinicians considering this technique for managing retained root tips in alveolar bone.
